THEME: LIFE AND DEATH
Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV
”This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live“
INSIGHT
–The ancient covenants were administered by observation and witnessing of various parties both spiritual and physical, thus the use of the words ‘heavens and earth’. For instance, the assembly of elders of the tribes and all officials hear speech and the heavens and the earth to testify (Deuteronomy 31:28). God speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to where it sets (Psalms 50:1). Also, Isaiah 1:2 discloses “hear me, you heavens! Listen, earth! For the Lord has spoken: “I reared children and brought them up, but they have rebelled against me.“ Our God has given us His word, which acts a weighing scale that results to either life or death. Those who hear His voice and follow Him find life, but those who rebel against God result in death. Every matter is established by the testimony of two or three witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1), thus we are reminded to love the Lord our God, obey His voice, cling to Him, for He is our life and the length of our days, that we may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Since the word of God is a lamp to our feet and a light to our paths, we are called to hear and do the word of God. Jesus is the Word of God and the way of life, He is calling us to hear His voice and to follow Him, and we will have abundant life.
